Letter to Charlotte Leslie MP (my MP)

Hi Charlotte,
I have had several grandparents contact me very concerned at the report in the papers last week regarding single mothers no longer having to put the fathers name on the birth certificates.
Surely this goes against everything the government have been saying about family values.
These children have a human right to know who their fathers are, it is fact that many young woman make the decision to get pregnant to receive all benefits available.
Fathers are being treated appallingly with regard to no contact as it is, this is a catastrophic decision.
I have asked you when The Family Justice review is due in a previous email but had no response, but in all honesty after this decision I am not holding my breath for anything constructive to come from it, no doubt children's right will once again be ignored, and families will continue to be fractured.

(Interesting to note that Charlotte is to front David Cameron's Big Society, and she doesn't reply to my emails. Mmmmmmmmm.)
